About blueberries and chip baskets

﻿

Blueberry time

﻿ Blueberries seem to be so early this year! Time to dig out the traditional Finnish chip baskets stained on the bottom despite the greaseproof paper to save it. The chip baskets come in all shapes and sizes, of course, and designed for different use; small baskets for children picking blueberries:

a little bigger ones for picnic, then mommy's version of blueberry and mushroom basket:

And for sure this wasn't Finnish handicraft, if we didn't have our own versions for sauna wood:

There's even large ones for storage. They are handy, beautiful, and most of all - when you purchase them, the seller don't tell you - please note, that the handles are for decoration only... :). This has happened to me twice this summer, amazing!!
